Chek this...

I was surfing some Japanese vf4 pages and came upon this link:

http://nifty.amikai.com/amiweb/brow...t=&langpair=1,2&toolbar=no&lang=JA&c_id=nifty

I don't know how many people knew about this....but it is everything on this site translated in Japanese! Thats pretty friigin kewl.

Our japanese vf-brethren actually read our flame wars - that is too kool.

 

that _is_ cool.

but...ad. that image is of my own choice - look in my profile.

gahhhh! LOOK how many VFDC links there are!

they know we're here! they're SPYING on us! WHY don't they share!!!@!!@ WHHHHyyyyyyy oohhh whyyyyy

 

spotlite - one of the links has our little snit, listed as "To borrow the '01.07.13 frame" in the translator. frame = flame?



any readers from japan? don't be shy, now. speak up! talk! we welcome you!

 

Awesome. I wanna know what's "fuck them other niggas!" in Japanese.

 

can they translate this? "WTF?!"
Anyways... It certainly is interesting (if not scary). Guess Jeff will be proud/versus/images/icons/smile.gif
Curious how we are perceived over there though. To think I was about to reference Shota's translation of Ikebukuro Sarah's Crash & Burn Essays vol 1-4, 8 as a horror story (can be found at HG's VF3 recoil archive 4 & 5), but he's probably reading this/versus/images/icons/tongue.gif Then again.... probably not.

A pleasant surprise indeed. Wonder if they were reading the ol' "Chibita was in Hong Kong" debate (again, probably not)...

PS Should we be surprised with this hard to guess URL? Guess Spotlite and Ice-9 will be world famous now/versus/images/icons/smile.gif

 

received an email this am from Japanese players* at a message board that has a nice VF4 site with materiel on Wolf and Pai. ( i asked for info on Lion.)
*spy nosuke [spy_nosuke@hotmail.com] If you try to get here through browser... whew... weird links... but many Japanese sites have the link. thx for the post! What are the chances we could lobby an arcade in NYc to get a VF4?

 

Are we sure this isn't just an autotranslator based in jp.? Some equivalent to babelfish? From the url it would seem to be. If there are any actual living users, well ...then ... Holy shit, they've made some funny stabs at translating the nicks. •sŽèÂÂÛŽ is mister bungle (I hope that came out) and I know someone was wondering about this - buried somewhere in here is FUCK VF HATERS!@# -
‘žˆ«ŽÒ‚Æ‚·‚ׂÄ«Œð‚µ‚Ü‚·!

.. nobody knew what to do with "y'all" and they would probably be confused by "niggas" too ...

i don't think it's an autotranslator, because if you look at the "df+K" or "d+P", etc, it translates them to "3K" and "2P", etc.

 

err, obviously it's an "autotranslator" as in something similar to babelfish, however it seems some custom modifications have been made so that japanese vf players will be able to understand some of our conversations.

 

Re: autoresponder

we will find out soon.. I sent another email to our Japanese friends... this is how we eventually go the Angry Angels vid cfrom our friends in Korea, etc...
Hopefully yours,
